A joint venture between Amazon and BBC Two, the small screen Neil Gaiman adaptation “Good Omens” is premiering later this year exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in over 200 countries and territories (and on BBC Two in the UK), and Gaiman himself revealed on Twitter this morning that Brian Cox will be playing the role of “Death” in the series.

Additionally, he notes that the trailer is coming tomorrow, March 6th!

Described as equal parts humor and horror, fantasy and drama, “Good Omens” takes place in the modern day when the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgment is set to descend upon humanity. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, and tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan — except that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, are not looking forward to the coming war, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

The cast also includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Frances McDormand, David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman, Jack Whitehall, Miranda Richardson, Adria Arjona, Michael McKean, Anna Maxwell Martin and Mireille Enos.

“Good Omens” will launch on Amazon Prime Video on May 31.

So for anybody wondering… The amazing Brian Cox plays Death in #GoodOmens. This is what Death looks like, when he’s not on a motorbike anyway. (Watch the trailer tomorrow.) pic.twitter.com/ARmFMM97uc
